The TwistedFork is probably my favorite place to eat in Milwaukee. The Twisted Fork could possibly be the epitimy of pub food.

First off, the place is dark. There is seating in the back dining room, but we have never sat back there, we always sit in the front bar area at tall tables with high back chairs.

The service at the Fork is great, the staff is friendly and quick to greet you. Get a drink, grab a menu, and try and decide.

My favorite dish is The Ivanhoe. The Ivanhoe is named after one of the adjoining streets and is excellent. It is a burger topped with artichoke dip, swiss cheese, and bacon. Add haystack onion rings and you are in for some grub down time. The rest of the signature burgers, four napkin burger, peppercorn burger, and Thai burger are all good as well, I have had them all.

If you are not in the mood for a burger, the entries are great too. The grilled pork chop is grilled perfectly, slightly crisp on the outside where the meat hit the grill, but tender and juicy on the inside. The ribeye steak and rosemary chicken do not disappoint, and they are both served with garlic mashed potatoes. Normally I wouldn't mention the sides, but the Twisted Fork has the best garlic mashers in Milwaukee.

If the menu isn't enough for you, they almost always have Goose Island Honkers Ale on tap, or if that is not your style, 5 other rotating tap beers.


I give The Twisted Fork 5 of 5 stars. They have great food, great service, and they never disappoint.
